Why do I have to be finger-printed and TB tested in order to work for the Center for Educational Partnerships?
The California Penal Code – Section 11105.3 states that employers may request from the Department of Justice (DOJ) records of all convictions involving sex crimes, drug crimes, and/or crimes of violence of a person who applies for employment, or is currently employed, or volunteers for a position in which he/she will have direct contact with minors. Thus, as a precautionary measure and to ensure the safety of our participants, all staff members must be finger-printed and TB tested. EAOP will cover the cost. When one works for a school district, the same precautions (plus more) are taken.
